Episode 14: Demons Chapter 11: The Third Floor

Zijing Castle, a sea of people. The main entrance of Zijing Castle was a hundred meters wide, and bustling crowds of people poured into it. It was completely conceivable how good this Bauhinia Castle’s business was.

Linley and a group of others looked at the Zijing Castle from afar amidst the crowd.

“En, the Zinnia Army?”

Linley noticed with a single glance that there were a dozen warriors wearing purple power suits inside and purple robes outside next to the main gate of Zijing Castle, with a special purple mark on the brow area of their foreheads, and it was none other than the Zijing next to Deborah who laughed, “This Zijing Castle is spread across the entirety of the Zijing Continent, and the master behind it is the great Lord God, the Zijing Monarch, so naturally there’s going to be a Zijing Army here to watch over it. In fact, the Zijing Army is only here for show, after all, who would dare to make trouble within Emperor Wing Castle? Unless one doesn’t want to live anymore.”

“Hehe, that Big Steward called Edmund, why are these people of theirs heading towards the back?”

Bebe’s gaze was venomous as he realized that Edmund was leading a group of people towards the back of Purple Bauhinia Castle. It didn’t enter the main gate.

Linley also noticed that I looked.

In fact, although there were a lot of people entering the main entrance of the Bauhinia Castle, it looked like there were an extremely large number of people walking towards the back of the Bauhinia Castle as well. It was in no way inferior to the people entering the main gate.

“Linley, this Bauhinia Castle is divided into the front main gate and the back main gate, and those who enter through the front main gate are those who go to Bauhinia Castle to purchase items. As for those who enter through the rear main gate, they are all those who sell their items to the Bauhinia Castle!”

The turquoise-haired youth Deborah explained with a smile as Linley drifted off.

Not only did this Zijing Castle sell goods, it also conducted acquisitions.

“Let’s get going.”

Deborah urged.

Linley also held Delia’s hand and followed along with Bebe, following the flow of people towards the back of the Zijing Castle, when after walking for several miles. Linley and the others finally saw the rear main gate of the Bauhinia Castle.

Sure enough this rear main gate was also a hundred meters wide, and bustling crowds were pouring through it.

Delia laughed, ”The land that comes to sell things. Most of them are from some tribes and clans outside of Emperor Wing City. There are really a lot of people here. 70% of the purchase price of this Bauhinia Castle is 70%, while the selling price is 10%. It’s a 30% difference in price, and the Bauhinia Castle is here. It is simply a gold swallowing cave.”

“This business, it’s no one else’s turn to do it.”

Linley laughed, behind this Bauhinia Castle was the Great Lord God!

Immediately, Linley’s group of people also followed the rest of the Black Dragon Tribe, and together, they all entered the Bauhinia Castle. Although the Black Dragon Tribe’s group was nearly two hundred people. However, the group that entered the Bauhinia Castle only accounted for a very small portion of the guests of the Bauhinia Castle.

“This place is huge!”

Linley exclaimed.

On the first floor of the Zijing Castle, Linley realized as soon as they entered that this first floor hall was one or two thousand meters long and wide. One or two thousand meters long and wide, this was a very exaggerated number. Even if tens of thousands of people poured in, they wouldn’t feel the slightest bit crowded. “Gods who have come to sell their items. There’s still quite a lot.”

Bebe looked excited.

“This first level hall is the hall for acquiring lower god frames, lower god artifacts, and other items worth less than a hundred inkstones.”

Deborah introduced them to Linley with great familiarity, “For example, I’m here this time but I’m here to sell off intermediate divine artifacts I see, so I’ll go to the second tier hall. The second level hall is for acquiring intermediate divine artifacts, intermediate divine frames, and other items priced at around ten thousand inkstones. As for the third tier, it’s the tier that acquires upper divine artifacts, upper divine lattices, and other precious items priced at a million inkstones, or even higher.”

Linley and the few of them also followed the crowd from the Black Dragon Tribe and went up the stairs to the second floor hall.

Of course. More than half of the Black Dragon Tribe’s crowd stayed on the first floor hall. Obviously those people had come to **cheaper items**.

“Linley, look, there will be a lot of ground counters at the side of this hall, and a lot of people sitting within the counters as well. They’re the Purple Bauhinia Castle Acquisition Staff, haha. See for yourselves, I’m going to go sell something first.”

Deborah greeted Linley and the others and ran straight towards the counters in the second level hall.

When Deborah and the others left, Linley’s trio looked at each other.

“Let’s go to the third floor!”

Linley spoke.

Linley still had several treasures on them, two Upper Divine Artifacts as well as an Upper Divine Sigil. These were all extremely expensive items.

The stairs from the first tier hall to the second tier hall were wide. However, the stairs from the second hall to the third hall were much narrower. Even the door to the hall was a whole lot smaller. And the people were obviously much sparser.

Obviously, the people selling precious items. It wasn’t likely to be as crowded as the first and second floors.

“Edmund!”

Linley saw that above the stairs, that Edmund was walking to the doorway of the third floor hall with three of his men, and at the doorway of the third floor hall there were purple-robed personnel who seemed to be talking to Edmund, who had even taken out a divine pattern.

“What’s Edmund doing taking out a Godhead?”

Linley was somewhat puzzled.

The purple-robed personnel were then released, and Edmund entered the third level with three of his men. When Linley and the few of them walked up to the entrance of the third level hall. The purple-robed personnel reached out to stop Linley’s trio.

“En?”

Linley and the others looked at the man in confusion.

“What land are you here to sell, bring it out.”

A purple-robed officer spoke, and when this purple-robed officer saw Linley’s and their puzzled expressions, he smiled faintly and said, “Is this your first time here? This third level hall is different from the one below, every land that comes in must present some item, otherwise they are not allowed in.”

Linley’s mind drifted off, and then recalling what Edmund had just done, his mind completely understood.

But just at that moment, two youths also walked right past Linley, paying no attention to the purple-robed personnel and directly entering the third floor. “Huh, why don’t they show their items?”

Bebe opened her mouth in disbelief.

The purple-robed officer was quite good-tempered and smiled lightly, “Didn’t you guys notice? There is a Demon Medal on their chests, they are all demons! As demons, we believe in their credibility. If people come, they must have items of sufficient value. There’s no need to check.”

Linley sighed in his heart, “This demon, the entry fee doesn’t need to be paid, and there’s no need to inspect when entering the third level of this Zijing Castle. The status is obviously different.”

In his heart, but Linley still flipped his hand, and a black dagger appeared in his hand. This black dagger was when Adkins’ dark upper divine detachment was killed. The upper divine artifact left behind.

“Go in.”

The purple-robed officer nodded.

Stepping into the third level hall of the Purple Thorn Castle. This third level hall was obviously one size smaller. It was still several hundred meters long and wide. It was just that the people in the hall were obviously much sparser.

“Those are all acquiring items!”

Bebe ran at the front, and Linley and the three of them headed directly towards the counter at the side of the hall.

And at this time – “Lord Edmund, look!”

Edmund, the Black Dragon Tribe’s steward, and three of his land’s men all noticed Linley’s trio, “Lord Edmund, aren’t those three from our tribe? Those three of the five who came to Emperor Wing City for the first time? They actually came to the third floor!”

Edmund looked at Linley’s trio in the distance.

Of the people from the Black Dragon Tribe who had come to Emperor Wing City this time, there were only five people who had truly come for the first time. At that time, Edmund had even met them all one by one, so naturally, he remembered Linley’s three.

“I didn’t realize that the three of them were actually harboring great wealth.”

Edmund’s eyes narrowed. A chilly, cold light flowed through them, “It seems that our tribe’s monitoring still isn’t enough!”

In Hell, when wealth reached a certain level it was enough to be coveted by others.

Wanting to accumulate money without fear, spending hundreds of millions of years to accumulate a million inkstones of money. I’m afraid that it would be directly plundered by some powerful people.

This Edmund and the others hadn’t done this kind of thing once or twice.

“Don’t worry my lord, since we know now, the three of them won’t be able to escape from your lord. At that time, it won’t be too late for us to make our move when we get out of Emperor Wing City.”

A Mediate God next to him said sinisterly.

Edmund nodded.

To be able to come to the third level, at least that treasure would be around a million inkstones. Such a fortune. Even as an Upper God, Edmund had to be moved.

There were rows of counters along the side of the hall on this third level, with purple-robed personnel sitting within each of them, and Linley walked up to a purple-robed, silver-haired old man.

“Eh?”

The purple-robed, silver-haired old man looked up and smiled faintly, “Selling something. Take it out.”

Linley’s three looked at each other, then Linley flipped his hand and took out the black dagger and handed it to the purple-robed silver-haired old man, “It’s this upper divine artifact.”

5 Although Linley and the others still had the Gothic Spear as well as the Upper Divine Grimoire. However, it was after all Linley’s first time for them to enter Emperor’s Wing City, and there were many things they hadn’t clarified. Linley and the others weren’t in a hurry, after all, if they were truly in a hurry, it wouldn’t be too late to sell them later.

Moreover, Emperor’s Wing Castle acquired items. It wasn’t just the Violet Bauhinia Castle. There was also that Black Sand Castle. It’s just that the Black Sand Castle’s internal forces were mixed. It’s rather chaotic. Linley hadn’t figured out the internal situation either, so he wasn’t in a hurry to go over there.

“This dagger. Is very good.”

The purple-robed elder nodded his head in praise, “Indeed, it’s an upper divine artifact, his previous owner should have been an upper god who practiced the laws of darkness, and also killed quite a few powerful people with this dagger, the killing aura is very strong, not bad. This dagger, 750,000 inkstones, we’ll take it, are you willing to sell it?”

This purple-robed old man made a judgment.

Linley nodded, “Fine.”

According to the plan, Linley had originally thought that it would be good enough to sell for 700,000 inkstones. Now having 750,000 inkstones had satisfied Linley. Linley also understood that this dagger might be considered a better upper divine artifact, so perhaps he had suffered a small loss.

But eating a small loss, Linley didn’t care about that small amount of money.

“This is one hundred zhan stones, or one hundred thousand ink stones. Two hundred thousand, three hundred thousand ……”

Saying that, the purple-robed old man brought out a large chunk of azure-colored stone in his hand.

Linley understood as soon as he heard it.

“Sure enough!”

When Linley and the others had killed those three Medium Gods back then, they had gotten some azure-colored stones. At that time, Linley had guessed that the azure-colored stones were currency, because the aura was exactly the same as an inkstone, I see, only much more intense.

An azure stone should be a square with a side length of one centimeter.

And this purple-robed old man took out, is the length and width of ten centimeters, thickness of one centimeter Zhan stone plate. Indeed, this piece of Zhan stone slab was worth a hundred units of Zhan stone. That is, one hundred thousand ink stones!

Seven Zhan stone slabs, five Zhan stone longs.

“Seven hundred and fifty thousand, you guys take it.”

The purple-robed old man handed it to Linley and the others.

“Dare I ask, what exactly is the use of this zhan stone and ink stone, other than purchasing things?”

Linley always felt that the Zhan Stone and Inkstone contained a special aura and should have a special use.

This purple-robed old man’s eyes lit up as he glanced at Linley and said with a faint smile, “It’s useless for you to know. There’s no need to ask.”

Linley was curious in the bottom of his heart, but since the others didn’t want to talk about it, Linley didn’t pursue it.

“The side doorway of this hall goes in, and you can go to the other side. If you guys want to buy something, you can go to that hall.”

The purple-robed old man said. Linley had already guessed this point.

Because of the Purple Briar Castle, the hall within the front main entrance was specialized in selling things, while the castle personnel entering through the back main entrance were acquiring items.

It was simply two sides of the same coin. “Let’s go take a look.”

Delia was curious.

“I don’t know what’s actually in hell, either.”

Bebe was also looking forward to it, and Linley smiled and nodded his head, and following the side doorway of this third level hall, Linley and the others headed towards the other hall on the third level of the Purple Bauhinia Castle.

And in the distance – “Eh? They went to another hall?”

Edmund couldn’t help but frown when he noticed this scene.

Immediately, he instructed his men, “You go and wait at the front main entrance ground entrance, and you, you go and wait at the back main entrance ground main entrance, and keep an eye on the three of them for me.”

“Yes, my lord.”

The two Mediate Gods immediately left.
